Chassis engineering

Post by norrbrand » Fri Sep 09, 2005 6:04 am

Hi!

I spotted the atom as a superb sportscar and are wondering about it's design. Design to avoid bumpsteer and design of the rear suspension and the front are constructed. I have only seen pictures of the car.

Has anyone has good pictures of spindles and wishbone, push rod and pivot arm/rocker construction?

I also wonder what is the right principle for the rear suspension design in respect to engine output shaf/axle joint I assume that lower and upper arms must strive to be parallell in all tire/rim position(travell) similar to front suspension.

Can anyone explain the Eckerman angle and how it should be? or do you know a good reference to chassi design principles?

Best regards
norrbrand, Ps to the atom designers I love your work
